My Favorite Bill of Rights After I read the U.S. Constitution my favorite section was the Bill of Rights. If we did not have these Amendments our country would be a big fight between each other. Because most of the amendments protects each person to have the right to a trial or protects our country and gives it peace.

The reason for that is because everyone should be treated the same because no one on this earth is better than anyone else by the color of there skin.

This also gave peace to our country because now the people decide whom our president instead of...
